On 6th December, the BT Group launched new EE , its new end-user facing lead brand with a vision for it to become the most personal, customer-focused brand in the UK. New EE signals BT Groups ambition to extend beyond Telecommunication services, with new EE striving to be a Tech brand serving our whole connected life. As part of this effort BT TV was renamed EE TV and existing BT TV customers experienced a branding change in the User Interface while still getting the same entertainment and sport they know and love, all for the same price.

A new partnership powerhouseEE has partnered with Apple to become the first aggregated Live TV provider for Apple in the UK, a milestone moment in the UK market for linear TV content aggregation over IP for non-proprietary platforms.
EE TV app customers* can see their favourite live channels from multiple providers in one Guide, meaning no more opening and closing apps to see whats on now. You can view them all in one, simple, easy to use Guide. You can browse whats on now or later, filter your channels or create a favourite channel list.

EEs new Apple TV remote controlCustomers who choose the Apple 4K TV box, are also given an EE branded TV remote control, which has extra buttons, like Guide, Channel up/down, Play/Pause and Fast Forward/Rewind, for a more live TV centric viewing experience.
A TV experience enhanced with SiriOne of the key benefits of having an Apple TV box is using Siri. Apple are renowned for world class voice services, and Siri can be used on the remote control to tune to a channel from anywhere. Just by pressing and holding the Voice button, users can say Tune to BBC One or Play TNT Sports 1 HD for example.
The Voice button can also be used to search for shows from the EE TV Search Keyboard using Siris Voice Dictation - much quicker than typing!

Customers can also buy or rent the latest movies and shows from the EE TV Store, so they can enjoy the very latest in entertainment as soon as its available.
